Quanil almost squealed with excitement, despite the lack of cute companions around. WE HAVE A MYSTERY!! They kept the squeal in, but their enthusiasm practically radiated from them. They glanced at Amalia and Samuel to see if they were as happy as they themselves were. Quanil nodded at the provost's 'suggestions' (they might as well be orders to them). It was all they could do to keep from saluting and running out right now to get started.
But their guild master was still speaking, and leaving would be rude. So Quanil stayed and listened. They smiled at the people who had come to help, even without being Loreseekers. And they almost squealed again at actually getting first pick of rooms! They did nod and say, "Of course," in acknowledgement of the provost's excellent suggestion on leaving the largest room alone.
All the rooms were nice, but Quanil thought they'd like a room with a window or two (and some of their sister's curtains! Even though every room would have the bedsheets she made as well). So as much as they loved the inlaid circle in the room they'd cleared out, that one was off the list. They didn't want to choose the room they were in now, since the glazier would have to come in to deal with the window. Better to be out of the way.
That left three rooms to choose from. Quanil wandered between them, weighing their options, until they finally stopped by The Farmer's Room/Room 2.
"If it's okay, sir, I'd like this one, I think." Windows that opened to let in fresh air, the built-in shelving... There were so many things they could put on those shelves. (But hopefully not mouse nests!)
And with their guild master's acceptance, they'd run to get their things and start "unpacking." Not that they had many things, but it still felt more like... well, like home.
